Sunil Narine is hoping to fulfil a dream by forcing his way into the West Indies' plans for the final Test against England following his unexpected call-up this week.

The West Indies Cricket Board summoned the spinner after paceman Kemar Roach was ruled out of the rest of the England tour due to a shin injury.

Narine is uncapped at Test level, but has taken 14 wickets in eight one-day internationals and impressed during a successful Indian Premier League campaign with winners Kolkata Knight Riders, with the 24-year-old named the player of the tournament.

Narine admits his call-up came out of the blue, having only recently returned to Trinidad from India, but he is now hoping he can help West Indies end their three-match series against England on a high, having lost the opening two Tests.

"I wasn't expecting this at all. I came back home and I was starting to look ahead to the limited-overs series (in England)," he said.

"When I got the call for the Test series...words can't explain how I felt at that moment. The dream was always to play Test cricket and I'm halfway there."

He added on www.windiescricket.com: "I would like to play in the last Test and try to help West Indies pull one back, but even if I don't, I won't be too despondent.

"We have the one-day internationals and a twenty20 international coming up, and if I'm in the squad for those games, the time in England would help me get fully prepared for the upcoming matches.

"I have not played a lot in England, so it will be vital that I get acclimatised as quickly as possible.

"I don't want to get ahead of myself and make any predictions. I just want to prepare well, mentally and physically, and give my all for West Indies."
